Ann Coulter’s America: 100% Al Qaeda free since 2001

If the title of this blog doesn't make sense to you that's because I'm rephrasing the piece of e-mail I received from Ann Coulter that didn't make sense to me. It was entitled "Bush's America: 100 Percent Al-Qaeda Free Since 2001," by Ann Coulter. I don't know why I received this because I’m not a radical right conservative, a general conservative, a moderate Republican, or even a Republican for that matter. However I was the unfortunate recipient of this e-mail which it had been captured and destroyed by my spam filter.

Does Ms. Coulter want us to believe that no single member of Al Qaeda has been in America since 2001? Surely, one Al Qaeda operative must've been able to sneak into the country through the thousands and thousands of miles of coastline and borders. Was she referring to the fact that there have been no more explosions caused by Al Qaeda since 2001? If so, she should have said so.

I'm Jewish and I was terribly offended by her ill considered, thoughtless, and thoroughly anti-Semitic remark. So were my Christian friends none of whom have ever said, or thought of themselves as "perfected Jews." When Ann Coulter sends me any information , I have to consider the source. I suggest you do the same. In this case the source to put it mildly, is very, very eccentric.

I know several Christians who think they are "perfected Jews". At least 3 or 4 times one of the people at Cub Scouts kept asking me if I wanted to go to church with them. My reply always is "No Thanks, I'm Jewish" and *every* time they'd reply "Me too. We're all Jewish. Jesus was a Jew."

A Brief Introduction

This blog is about the absurdities in a world growing more absurd each day. Political, social, and economic issues will be discussed with an emphasis on humor, satire, and a touch of sarcasm. If the particular post makes no sense whatsoever, then it is satire or irony gone bad. No topic is taboo; no sacred cows are safe. I want to hear from the people who read my posts. SO PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS. I look forward to hearing from you, especially visitors from foreign countries.

About Me

I retired from the life of an administrator and a bureaucrat to become a writer. My first novel, Unholy Embrace, Was Published in April 2010 by Night to Dawn. My Short Story, A Problem with Werewolves, Was Published in the October 2010 issue of night to Dawn magazine.

I pulled back from publishing blogs on this post because discussion on the key issues had become vitriolic and neither side was listening to the other. I tend to be liberal on most issues, but I tried to keep an open mind. Having an open mind no longer seems to be in vogue.

During the time I had been making posts to this blog, I moved from Myrtle Beach South Carolina, to Forsyth County Georgia. The birth of our granddaughter was a large incentive for moving here.
